vimoh Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Can anyone give me more details on this story? I have been looking for long but this is all I got anywhere. Anything appreciated. Links, book titles, places people I can talk to. It is urgent. Thanks. Saraswati Saves the World from Shiva's Third Eye and the Beast of Doom Shiva was woken from his meditations and looked around to discover a world on the brink of corruption and being unsalvageable. Shiva decided it was time to wipe the slate clean. Shiva, the destroyer, opened his world destroying third eye attempting to destroy the three worlds.. Out came a terrible fire that threatened all existence. There was panic everywhere. Only Saraswati remained calm. "Shiva's fire burns only that which is impure and corrupt." She took the form of a river and with her pure waters picked up the dreaded fire from Shiva's third eye. Within the folds of her water she carried the fire far away from the earth to the bottom of the sea where it transformed into a fire breathing mare called *Badavagni* – the beast of doom."So long as the world is pure and man wise, this terrible creature will remain on the bottom of the sea. When wisdom is abandoned and man corrupts the world, *Badavagni *will emerge and destroy the universe," foretold the wise goddess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
